Since using a #social network without #corporate #surveillance (#mastodon), I allow myself to search for unusual terms.
For example, have you ever searched for #darkPsyPorn on #twitter or #youtube?
Think about the recommendations, your stepmom will see the day after, when she is #shouldersurfing again.
Here is a youtube link example, which BoschBot posted right now:
Hieronymus Bosch Butt Music

If you use #youtube in that same browser (profile) you know what happens to your stepmom.
An interesting headline, probably a good read for bedtime:
The Slow Death of Surveillance Capitalism Has Begun
A European Union ruling against Meta marks the beginning of the end of targeted ads.

So, where does the ID-ing happen when using #mastodon? Linked content providers get your #metadata to build up shadow profiles. Meaning, the profile building is still ongoing, but less reliable for being sold to advertisers, isurances, banks, political players. #CamebridgeAnalytica
